[plug] Windowmaker

 When running WindowMaker from xdm, how do I set it so that any user can shut
down the machine. 

The only way that I can think of is to run a script that su to root then calls
the shudown.  The problem with that is they then need to enter root's password.

I tried making ctl-alt-del into shutdown -h now in /etc/inittab but xdm appears
to disable ctl-alt-del.

Any suggestions.
